Marijuana Addiction & Recovery Support Group

This community is dedicated to those looking to overcome their addiction to marijuana, a drug produced from parts of the cannabis plant. Join the group to find support among people who are also looking to cease their habit of smoking marijuana, share your experience, and get advice. It's not easy to kick the habit, but together we can.

Watch who you are talking to and calling dumb honey! I am a Canadian. Most pot users have researched those questions you raised. They do it to try and justify their use. I'm sure that's why you did it.
Saying that it is not harmful to your health when used in moderation does not justify that getting stoned on occasion is irresponsible behavior. There is no such thing as responsible drug use. It's an oxymoron. It is a pysochological dependancy/addiction which is far more powerful than any physical aspect of addiction. That's the most powerful part of ANY addiction. That's what keeps you going back to it. It's what keeps you addicted to it, whatever it is. So yes there is a REAL addiction.
I can practically garuntee that your family doctor doesn't smoke pot. Ever. Why don't you go and ask a doctor of psychology or pyschiatry what he/she has to say about marijuana I'm sure that what they have to say will surprise you my dear.
I have read up extensively on this drug. However, based on my experience and use I choose to believe the truth and not the lies that are spouted to try and justify this drug's use by our society. I used to believe the lies. In fact I chose to smarten up and stop being so naive about it by believing in all of that justification crap.
Indeed it is you who is being dumb and naive. Learn this now in here or you will be run out by people seeking help.

wow some people are so frusterated in there own lives and hate themselves so much they must come online and disturb and make fun of people tryin to better themselves....my opinion is u need to take a look in the mirror and realize that u dont like urself....and i gauruntee it....people are mean bc they h8 themselves or things they have done.

okay first off
saying that a physcological dependency is stronger then a physical is absoloutly insane, I cant believe anyone would even try to argue this, if someone is an alcaholic with a strong physical addiction, if they stop cold turkey they run the risk of dying, because their body doesn't know how to function without the drug,
I hardly see being bored and wanting to get high as worse then someone dying trying to get clean cold turky, and the same goes for other drugs such as heroine
physical addiction is far worse, and if there are any alcaholics or heroine addicts reading this, they also must be shocked and appauled

and no i dont have a shitty life so i come on here to make yours worse, clearly you have your opinoins, and im expressing mine
only mine are based on fact
and not sensationalism.

marijuana is incredibly non-toxic and has been proved in several studies, some of which were done in canada, as far back as the 1970s there has been a call for the legalization of marijuana in canada by doctor associtations because of the fact that you cannot overdose on marijuana like you can on alcahol or other drugs, and because of its many posative affects

one of those posative affects is the promotion of new cell growth in the brain, yes i know, sounds crazy, but cannabanoids share the same properties as prozac, it promotes new cell growth in the brain which somehows translates into a depression treatment, im not a doctor, but i wrote some papers on this in school
because of this marijuana is being used to treat depression

politics and misinformation drive the policy to abolish marijauna

for all you history buffs out there
did you know that lincoln called for every US resident to plant one tablespoon of marijuana seeds in theri backyard as a manditory practice?
he even suggested you stop growing tabacoo and start growing marijuana
and many did
leading to your country asyou see it today.

so yes you are niave people if you think marijuana use requires treatment or there is a real addiction

I have looked up the facts not to justify my own use, but to know what is happening to my body
I dont drink, and i dont do other drugs,
but i get high,
I work for the government, i have a successful career and I lead a happy normal life

I looked at your profile. You are obviously a troll. You have nothing written about yourself. Not even if you are male or female. You have come here for the sole purpose of cutting us down and and trying to start an argument. You haven't even joined any other communities. That is a very low thing to do. How do you feel about yourself? I will assume not very good if you need to come here and do that, even though I know you will say otherwise. You are never, never, never, never, never going to convince me of your opinion no matter how much pro-pot research propaganda you have done or can find. I HAVE HEARD IT ALL. I HAVE READ IT ALL. I USED TO SPOUT THAT CRAP MYSELF. You need to accept the truth. You ARE trying to justify something. What other need do you have to be here? You are not helping anyone. You are only serviing a purpose for yourself. Believe that! Accept it!
You want pot to be the &quot;miracle&quot; drug. The one we can all do without consequence. Well it's not, no matter how much you want to believe and justify that it is.
The world shouldn't be running around taking prozac either. I know from many years of use what weed does. It has negative side effects just like any other drug
Physical dependancy ends. Psychological addiction never does. That's why when a drug addict quits their drug of choice they can never use it again. It has a high possibility of putting them back at square one because of their pychological addiction.
You are obviously a pothead(drug addict in other words) because you don't want to accept facts about your drug of choice. That is what happens when you are using drugs. You become dilusional about the use of them. That's addiction. You wouldn't find someone who has never smoked pot doing research and writing papers to prove that it's OK for everyone else to smoke it. It doesn't serve them any purpose to do that. This is no different than trying to convince an alcoholic of the same sorts of things about alcohol. They don't want to hear it or accept it. They're not ready to. Yabut, yabut, yabut...they'll say.
Of course you're going to be able to find a bunch of doctors who will be marijuana advocates. More legalized taxable drugs means more money in their pockets. Duh. That's the purpose it would be serving them as well as the Canadian government.
Use your head for something other than a smoke filter!

This is my last post before moving out into the woods for the winter, so I'm glad I got a good one...

To all of us here for the right reasons; don't let people like this irk you and get your blood up... they obviously need to learn the hard way, like most of us did (I know I said a lot of this myopic stuff when I was a kid, too.)
I know it's hard to let these so-open-they're-closed minded opinions echo into oblivion, but... history shows the most we can do is ask for a little tolerance and self- review, and failing that, get their profile deleted so these support forums can stay supportive.
The best of luck to all of you who are soldiering through this all-too-often-trivialized struggle (it's not enough that your old friends think you're being stupid... now we have to deal with strangers saying this crap!) I know your thoughts are with me, as mine are with you. stay strong, and listen to idiots only long enough to be sure you made the right diagnosis. :)

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
